Neon is a Cyberpunkish location in Starfield, that is essentially a den of shady gangs, corrupt police, and the only place in the game where you can legally purchase the Aurora drug. If you wish to indulge in all that Neon has to offer, you need to know where to find it first.
In this guide, we’ll go over how you can reach Neon City in Starfield including its planet and star system. Additionally, we’ll also be going over some of the things you can do when you’re visiting this city in Starfield.
Starfield Neon location
Neon is the main dry area located on Volii Alpha aquatic planet within the Volii system in Starfield. So to visit the city, you need to make your way there.
Open up your Starmap and find the Volii system. It is near the Olympus system, so it should be easy to find. Once you have found Volii, open its map and look for planet Volii Alpha. Scan it and search for the Neon landing zone. Since Volii Alpha mostly consists of water, it shouldn’t be hard to find. Once you’ve located it, simply land your ship there and you’ll be in Neon City in Starfield.
If you continue with the main story of Starfield, it will automatically take you to the Neon City while going through the All That Money Can Buy quest. During the quest, you will accompany Walter Stroud to Neon City to secure the deal for the Artifact.
